it sounds hella cheesy/corny, but we really gotta focus hard on cultivating hope and resisting slipping into hopelessness... it's one of the most vital things we can be doing right now

There's nothing quite so paralyzing as hopelessness. Believing we can is a prerequisite for fixing things. So what if we're wrong? At least we tried.

not cheesy or corny. I am a being of nearly pure hope. Dreaming of unfathomably bright futures is in my DNA, put there by my ancestors who created communities to rival the greatest cities of today. Hope is a discipline and a practice, and one that gives far more than it takes.

doesn't help that social media tends to reward hopelessness or discourse that skews heavily towards being or becoming hopeless

and i'm not talking about the depraved and hollow "self-help" forms of faux hopefulness that are drawn to toxic positivity true hopefulness is not that
